the moment the syrian capital is robbed by a new terror attack is called on c.c.t.v. target a key military complex in damascus just a day after twin blasts get in on the school. syrian violence dominates the u.n. general assembly in new york with more regime change calls from the west intervention promoted by arab states above still no resolution. fiery rages sweeps of the greek capital as protesters and police

a slug it out in front of column and with up to a million people walking out of work in a resoundingly. and we're seeing live pictures right now all from a spain as it braces for another round of anti government demonstrations despite a brutal police crackdown outside parliament the night before. there was a live from moscow with me to bomb with say in syria a gun battle reportedly erupted inside the army headquarters of syria's capital damascus off of the complex was rocked by two paul four explosions four people have been killed in the suicide attacks carried out by the rebel free syrian army margie's policia is in the region. two massive explosions rocked to the syrian

capital of damascus on the waynes day about what accounts they were targeting the military command center of the damascus regime now the moment of the blast was caught on c.c.t.v. cameras if you look at it as footage that was released by the government you can see a white van driving past the military headquarters before it exploded according to syrian state television there world cost suicide bombers that detonated these explosions there also reporting that four military guards died and an additional fourteen people were injured among them military personnel as well as civilians now the blasts occurred just ten minutes apart from each other with the first one happening at just before seven o'clock local time on wednesday morning they also happened near a landmark square in damascus the result was that they shattered the glass of windows of nearby buildings and several residents kilometers away reported hearing the blast making them possibly the loudest explosions that have happened in the

city of damascus since fighting broke out there several months ago most of wednesday saw damascus covered with thick smoke and this is as a result of the fires that also broke out in this heavily guarded military compound building the rebel group the free syrian army has claimed responsibility for this attack making it the second such attack in just as many days that rebels have claimed responsibility for and they come just one day after rebels blew up a school building in damascus which they say was being used for military training so what we're witnessing is almost a trend if you like but certainly an intensification of the fighting happening in damascus in the number of attacks that are being carried out by rebel fighters. iran's press t.v. channel says its correspondent mayan mesereau was shot dead by a sniper while reporting on a about today's twin blasts in damascus from all in the story i'm now joined live by author and journalist option read the himself good to see you there mr a ton of

the now why do you think this particular journalist was targeted by a sniper was this a random killing or was a motive well i have done work for press t.v. reality speaking to you from a country which has banned television station and the president has always been in the crossfire when it comes to nature go back to. your valid joining nato countries the policies of the broadcasting certainly they are saying that the journalists are being deliberately targeted because i'm sure many journalists all around the world want to get their condolences to the family of this young reporter in damascus and they did we were chief of press t.v. in damascus who was shot and wounded many partners who are now called doesn't fit in to influence the way events in syria being reported if if at all. well it's interesting that nothing gets reported from bahrain and all the dictatorships the nato countries support these are nato backed militants the free syrian army is

a nato backed militant outfit and i think all good people around the world whatever their misgivings about the assad regime will want any cost to defeat this nature backed insurgency i think maybe they seem to be glimmers of hope that even the white house might be able to realize that nine eleven was nothing as what might happen if the wallabies backbite nato and the americans get to power in syria raised right now let's talk a little bit more about the blas now some have labeled the bombing of the government building an act of terrorism why is the free syrian army resorting to such tactics i mean will we see make more of it well it's difficult to see what this free syrian army is a free syrian army the people that the prime minister of this country britain. clinton intern is here some time back. is the free syrian army the people who

carried out that attack on their army and who is the free syrian army anyway i know people that oppose us had all their lives they are against the free syrian army and it is interesting to see what the tactics of this nebulous group obviously now like to al-qaeda what their tactics are going to be they obviously have no compunction of killing civilians and it is a war i think everyone watching the syrian conflict ration has to decide which side they're on you can be balanced or impartial about a war right it is a war which side are you on if the violence and terror attacks do you finally force assad to step down will the rebels be able to restore peace in the country. the rebels have no chance i think of taking over the country but again i mean with this press t.v. journalist. it is that idea that i think every one of your viewers should think about martha gellhorn that. journalist said objectivity is no place for

the war and it's a very sad time for journalists in syria today thank you very much author and journalist afshin rattansi always good to see you here on r.t. . the united nations general assembly is into his second day in new york one of the day's most anticipated addresses was that of the runs president mahmoud ahmadinejad who finished speaking just minutes ago a tease monina but my as in new york a gauge of the speech and the world leaders reaction to it good to see you again the maria now after medina judd is known for fiery speeches bearing no one what was the reaction to his latest address. well in his latest address to the general assembly came at a house filled room i could tell you that the u.s. delegation in the israeli delegation boycotted president ahmadinejad's speech due to. israel's remarks he made since arriving in new york

a few days ago in addition the canadian delegation walked out in the midst middle of his speech during the speech that he made to the world body he accused the u.s. and european union of entrusting themselves to the devil he accused these rallies or rather he referred to the israelis as uncivilized zionists he accused america and its european allies of bullying countries around the world into making decisions that are best for the west but what was interesting in his speech is that he actually made somewhat of an occupy wall street reference when he was criticizing the presidential election in the u.s. the election system in europe he said that hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on campaign spending and as a result ninety nine percent of the voting population their voices are being ignored so that is something that the president of iran never really said that

phrase ninety nine percent and it's interesting that it comes about a year after this occupy movement began in new york and leaves throughout the world but it's interesting the death speech i mean he was completely a different person from many of the people who was stood there wasn't a surprise did also debuted that although egypt's president mohamed morsi what does he say. yes the egyptian president addressed the general assembly for the first time now at the beginning of his speech he said the first issue the u.s. the u.n. must solve is to establish a sovereign independent palestine an independent state and he said this is a issue that's been ignored for too long and if the international community supported the arab spring they should support the determinations of the palestinian people but then he did take time to address the anti islam film that has sparked so much anti-american sentiment in in the arab world he said the behavior of some

individuals too and the insults of prophet mohammad will not be accepted he said the obscenity the recent obscenity s. that were released he referred to it as an organized campaign against islamic to tease them unacceptable he was referring to this anti islam film that was made in the us and uploaded to you tube he said that egypt stands firm against the use of violence in expressing objections to any kind of criticism but at the same time he said while respects the freedom of expression that freedom of expression should not be directed towards one specific religion or culture he stressed several times throughout the speech that egypt will not tolerate anyone who criticizes their religion or the prophet mohammad so he did address this issue an issue we should mention that following this anti-american sentiment that blew up in the arab world u.s. president barack obama gave an interview in which he said egypt is not an ally of

the u.s. but it's also not an enemy of the egyptian president and his u.s. counterpart have not scheduled any bilateral meetings during this u.n.g.a. debate thank you for that. in new york. now we're also you can watch all the addresses of the un general assembly for yourself you can find them live feeds on our website at r.t. dot com right now david cameron is addressing the assembly and speaking more on syria to carrying the blood of young children is a terrible stain stain on his reputation he also spoke about speaking addressing the general assembly about iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad and his rhetorical . call for more on that you can watch that on our website at our dot com. now the words peace love and justice where used by after

extensively but no matter how softer the rhetorical iran's rivals will always find reason for confrontation that's the view of jamelle the policy director of the national iranian american council. i'm not sure what the strategic thinking was in delivering this speech normally when he when he comes to the united states these are speeches designed to provoke anx and to generate media attention and really you know i think that there were there was a fair number of remarks that will be perceived as incendiary remarks that will be exploited by folks on both sides of the debate in order to heighten tensions. you know on the u.s. and the israeli side i think that there are still statements that the judge made that will you know will be used to create the impression that iran is not a rational actor and that there needs to be a military conflict but i think this is all spin this is all noise and at the end

of the day once the political theater is over we need to all figure out how we're going to get back to the negotiating table to resolve these many issues not just the nuclear issue but the human rights situation in iran through serious diplomacy i'll be back off the shelf break don't go away stay with us you're not. the sun rises over what seems like and last forest but here in the new directions cry for hundred kilometers north of light of all stalk as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. bloggers both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system for filing down the forests of the more skewed region for them profit goes well beyond the future of

a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that they have trails the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quite. in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he's overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i gotta go and look now as i started city for more whole forest legislation so assume the pals and so on ribs and you'll forest court and according to. every four us best
